- ✓Third-party property damage that may arise during deliveries or shop operations
Coverage products commonly considered
Most florist operations consider one or more of these coverage types:
Hypothetical claim scenarios
These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.
- A customer slips on water that has dripped from a display cooler and alleges injury. General liability is generally intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
- During a delivery, an arrangement is alleged to have damaged a client's furniture or venue property. Coverage for this type of allegation depends on the policy form and any auto-related exclusions.
Frequently asked questions
How are deliveries handled for a florist?
Delivery introduces auto exposure that general liability usually does not address. If staff deliver using personal or shop vehicles, commercial auto or hired-and-non-owned coverage is generally evaluated separately, which a licensed insurance professional can review.
Are perishable goods a covered concern?
Floral stock is perishable, and spoilage from equipment failure is typically a separate consideration from liability. Coverage for refrigeration breakdown or stock loss depends on the policy form and any endorsements, so disclose cooler-dependent inventory on the application.
